The Respect Life Committee is Sacred Heart Parish's pro-life, pro-family organization committed to the sanctity of all human life from natural conception to natural death by promoting the teaching of the Catholic Church through education, outreach, and prayer.
We are a very active and passionate group, and people of all ages are invited to join our events and activities where we spread respect for the sacredness of every human life!
40 Days for Life Needs You! (Wednesday, February 14- Sunday, March 24)
The Respect Life Committee encourages you to sign up to pray during 40 Days for Life, an internationally coordinated campaign that aims to end abortion locally through prayer and fasting, community outreach, and peaceful all day vigils in front of abortion businesses. Knowing that "with God, all things are possible," people of faith and conscience unite in 40 days of prayer and fasting. The abortion laws in Maryland allow abortion through all nine months of gestation. This is devastating. We need to get out at the grassroots level and pray for an end to abortion. Please visit the website at www.40daysforlife.com/lutherville to sign up to pray in front of FemiCare Surgery Center located at 1212 York Road in Lutherville, MD, or sign up at www.40daysfor life/catonsville to pray in front of the Hillcrest Abortion facility at 5602 Baltimore National Pike. It is up to us to save the lives of the unborn and their mothers here in Maryland. It starts at the grassroots level, bringing Christ's love and compassion and forgiveness to the scared, young, abortion-minded women going into the abortion clinics. The no-show rate climbs as high as 75% when people are in front of the clinics praying. We are fighting for life in the courts. We are fighting the battle in the legislature. But we are winning this battle on our knees. For more information, please contact:

Message from your Five Month Old Spiritually Adopted Baby
Dear Friend,
I am 5 months old now. I'm 12 inches long and I weigh about one pound. I'm really getting big and mommy can now feel me move around! Hey! Someday maybe I'll play soccer! Thank you for praying for me!
Love,
Your Spiritually Adopted Baby
Your spiritually adopted baby weighs over one pound now, and his mother can feel his movement. Before this time he was too small for her to feel. Although he swam with ease in his watery world, he needed to be big and strong enough to kick hard against the outside wall and dent it - - the inside wall of the uterus has little feeling. We are mid-way through the pregnancy now. Your prayers have helped your baby’s mother continue with her pregnancy and seek the help she needs.
This month, please say a special prayer to Jesus for the father of your spiritually adopted baby, that he will have the courage and strength he needs to support mom and baby like St. Joseph cared for Christ on earth.
